About Danielle Clark

I am 28 years old and for 5 years out of college I played basketball for a living. I was a professional basketball player in Europe so I spent most of my years there and came back to Maine for summers and a couple weeks at Christmas time. I thought my years there would open my eyes to what I want to be when I "grow up." That didn't happen. I have discovered, however, that I just have to try something. Just do things and toss myself into them. I have currently tossed myself into being a college basketball assistant coach and one on one reading tutor.
I grew up in Corinna, Maine and have been a resident Mainer. I love sports, reading, writing, cooking, baking, watching movies... everything. I have lots of hobbies and not enough time in the day!

What, you’re almost 30 and not married? No kids, house or full time job? We are no longer alone. What used to be the natural progression in life (college, job, marriage, baby) is becoming, it appears, a thing of the past. And the Generation Y-ers (those born from 1980-1995) don’t seem to be worried about […]

It doesn’t look like it but my old wooden dresser fits perfectly in the back seat of my 99 Nissan. I know this because, ironically, the thing has been in my car on the highway more times than I can count. In just the past two years it has bounced it’s way to five different […]

I am officially concluding the longest streak I have of living in one apartment. On May 1st I will have lived on Mclellan Road for one whole year. That’s my longest living arrangement commitment. I’ve been thinking a lot about commitment lately. Do I love it or hate it? Can the world handle them or […]

I honestly thought that turning 29 would spark something in my blogging mind. I haven’t felt very inspired lately even though a lot of things have been happening in my life. I guess there are things I’m proud of, things I’m ashamed of, and things I’ve surprised myself with but I keep coming back to […]

Just a couple months ago I started to think about getting rid of my bumper stickers. I’m almost 30, it’s probably about that time. But every time the thought creeps up in my head I always come to the conclusion that I will just grow up when I get a new car. But my Nissan, […]

On this Monday morning, as I sip my daily coffee I am warmed with appreciation for the little things: a comfy chair, the sunshine, good friends…the list could go on. But what about what’s right in my hand? What about coffee? Coffee is a reason for good memories and whenever I take a sip it […]

I get goosebumps every time I hear positive news responding to Michael Sam. The most recent hopeful response came at Missouri’s home basketball game (http://espn.go.com/video/clip?id=espn:10463868) when fans gave him a standing ovation. If you don’t know who Sam is, and you should, let me enlighten you. Michael Sam is a college senior who, one week […]

Last time I knew, being social meant hanging out with friends. Like, actually being in the same room as our friends both mentally and physically. I feel like social media is the polar opposite of what it means to be social. It used to be that being social was laughing with your friends (not LOL-ing), […]

Running. Writing. Reading. These are all things I love to do and all things that are socially acceptable to do alone. Going to the Movies. Going out to eat. Also things I love to do but not necessarily acceptable to do solo. Recently I decided I wanted to go to the movies… alone (dun, dun, […]

“I literally want to go to bed at 8 tonight.” Text sent at 1:50pm. And I meant it. I was dragging after a long day the previous day and even thought about taking an afternoon nap(gasp!). In the early afternoon I usually have a coffee and relax but the mid-January 40-degree anomaly of a day […]
